Hereunder my attempt in the genre;
The Patron Saint of Repeating Yourself
I have this most repetitive complaint;
my doctor couldn’t diagnose what ailed,
I told myself there is a patron saint
to pray to—everyone I tried has failed.
I found ten thousand saints with a speciality
listed under topic-group-disease
(Authenticated by the Papacy)
I tried the saints who offered guarantees—
the flagellants, the hermits and the martyrs.
I liked a saint who had attended to
a horrid malady, although for starters
I settled for the patron saint of flu.
Among the saints of whom I’ve lately read
there’s no saint for repeating what you’ve said.
